Intelligent Heart Rate Variability Processing System

TL;DR: A data acquisition system from Holter ECG records, is developed by using QRS detection techniques for the future development of an standard ECG database.

Abstract: In this research an expert system for automated detection of abnormality of heart rate variability. For this purpose, a data acquisition system from Holter ECG records, is developed by using QRS detection techniques for the future development of an standard ECG database. New and innovative medical applications based on developments in the wireless networks field are being developed in the research as well as commercial sectors. This trend has just started and we predict wireless networks are going to become an integral part of medical solutions due to its benefits in cutting down healthcare costs and increasing accessibility for patients as well as healthcare professionals. In this research we give some background on applications of wireless networks in the heart rate variability processing and discuss the issues and challenges. We have also tried to identify some of the standards in use. Another contribution due to this paper is the identification of innovative medical applications of wireless networks developed or currently being developed in the research and business sectors in Vietnam.
